Truncated Posts

You may notice that some of the longer posts on the boards have been truncated. Here's the story on that:

All posts were truncated down to 10,000 characters during the move (this was not intentional or known at the time)

THIS WILL BE FIXED - Your posts are not lost, they still exist on the old forum database.

Mike from IGN is working on a fix and will restore all the truncated posts once he has it figured out.

We do not have a timeline currently as to when this will be fixed.

Please forgive us for the temporary inconvenience. We do realize this is a pretty big issue. However, we decided to open the forums anyway despite this, as we don't know exactly when it will be resolved.

It's not too big of a deal, but will the longer posts be restored in the archived threads too?

There were a few threads I was going to recommend activating from the Senate archives, in a few weeks after you guys have less to work on, but I saw that most of the content from the long posts was cut.

Just curious, but will editing the post with the original untruncated post fix the problem? That is to say, if I replaced the truncated fanfiction post with a backup from my PC, would it be truncated again or not?

Some of my review threads, like the Journey Through the EU thread in Lit, have been effected by this . . . But I've always kind of suspected that people kind of zone out at about the 10,000 character limit anyway, at least in my threads.

Seriously, I support the decision to go ahead and get us up and running, even with this issue still unresolved. I'm just glad to be out of the temp boards right now, so I can be patient about my longer posts.
